Sally Hansen is probably one of the most significant brand in the nail industry. We look up for them in terms of quality, care, and variety. They have a wide collection of products that not just help the nail to look prettier, but healthier in the same time. I always remember buying my first Sally Hansen like 15 years ago for a nail strengthener. I can buy nail color anywhere but the only brand that provide vitamins for nail is Sally Hansen. Now even better, they provide an all in one solution from care to color in a bottle.

During the event, it's not just about the new item, which is Fuzzy Coat, but it's more like a re-introduction to all of the products and brand as well. Now, Sally Hansen Indonesia has been officially handled by the official from Sally Hansen.

-*-

They also carry an airbrush for legs, so the smooth and silky look can be achieved without the need of a pantyhose.

-*-

Tools, hands and feet care are all available now.

-*-

The variety is just getting wider, they also have nail polish strips, I'll share more reviews of the products later on.

-*-

Here are the cute Sugar Coat and the spotlight item called Fuzzy Coat, details from press release:

Taking inspiration from the strong textural themes at the latest runway
shows, Sally Hansen has developed a new, exclusive special effect formula that
makes nails the focal point of any look. The breakthrough formula goes where no
nail color has gone before, creating eye-catching optical effects and adding lust-worthy
texture to your manicure. Blurred, woven and marbled fiber looks resembling
hand-spun yarn are combined in a multidimensional network of color to create a
matte finish with a fibered texture effect.

On the event, all of us get to try a quick manicure. The product is definitely a high quality items, exactly 10 days ago they are made and today they just start chipping off even thou' I do dishes and laundry everyday. Tough isn't it?!

Curious about Fuzzy Coat? Stay tune as I will make a review soon ^___^

I've recently been using a CC Cream by Elianto. This Infinity Youth CC Cream contain SPF 30/PA+++ and made in Korea. The product is suitable for daily usage under the sun. The product claim to give 24 hours moisturizing effect and many more, please do read the details below.

Details from www.elianto.biz:

skincare product with a skin regeneration formula that promotes skin
cell renewal while it moisturizes and lifts from within. With SPF30 /

spread gently outward from the center of the face. Use as a makeup base
or to replace foundation to smooth and even out skin tone.

and below are the details from the golden packaging.

-*-

The product has a nice texture but not completely smooth. The white cream looks odd at first for being so white with tiny brown dots. The smell is pleasant and mild.

-*-

At first it appears as white as correction pen, but as I blend it in circular movement, the white cream turns into a nude skin color.

-*-

The product reminds me of the BB Cream from The Body Shop but Infinity Youth Cream feels softer and smoother in terms of texture during blending.

Below are the after. The product is doing well in hiding minor imperfection, from acne, fine lines, large pores, to uneven skin tone.

-*-

I can't testify much about the skincare effect but there is a bit of moisturizing effect (which of course not a replacement for a moisturizer) and I found out that CC Cream repels water. On the image below it also appears to have white cast side effect which perhaps a good matte finish loose powder can help reduce.

The product blend well on my skin tone, it will probably suits from light to medium but wont be suitable for those with dark skin tones.

During application:

The Cream is a bit sticky but can easily be tackle with a loose powder, I use it on top of my moisturizer and the cream can be used on a dry or damp skin. I can use sponge, brush or just fingers with it and found no problem at all.

-*-

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the product, from the texture, function, effect on the skin and the natural looking finish as well. The downside is the clear cap is a bit hard to open and when I opened it, it opened all the way, not the pump, but all the way to the opening of the tube and make a mess, it may just happen to me or all of them are the same, it's just a matter of the packaging.

almost everyone loves perfume, they come in so many different varieties and aroma. Perfume has been used since the beginning of time and what it used to be items for royalties only, can now be enjoyed by everyone.

Aigner has created Debut, a fragrance for woman that comes in a simple bottle decorated and made with care. A pink fluid inside and an aroma that smells so good. Below are the details from the press release.

The event is bombarded with pink light and gorgeous aroma from the
perfume. It was really is a graceful perfume that deserve the spotlight.
I found it between classic and refreshingly modern. Beautiful, exquisite and expensive is three words to describe the scent. Expensive, not in a sense of price (since many or more than the price offered) but the scent itself felt expensive and one should be precious enough to use it.

This is my current favorite perfume at the moment, the packaging looks really simple yet heavy, it shown that it was made from a high quality material. The body lotion complements the perfume in so many ways, using them together made the scent last almost all day long.

-*-

I love the first note, middle and all the way to the base, there are some key ingredients that I really look into, from the Yuzu, Green Apple, Mandarin, Jasmine, Orange Flower, Water Lily, Vanilla, and White Musks.
